I have some ancestors (around 1820ish) who got married and were both first and second cousins. (Why yes, they were from Kentucky, how did you guess?) That wasn't the confusing part. The confusing part was when a few of their ten children up and converted to Mormonism, went to Utah and practiced polygamy for the next three generations. That's the confusing part.

My ancestors from that same time period are double related to me through marriages.
My ex-girlfriend and I thought there was a possibility we were related, but we did not think about this until AFTER we were already in a romantic relationship. Turns out that we're not related, but our ancestors are from the same region (southern Virginia and southern West Virginia), we both have stories of distant relatives in SC and TN, and our ancestries share some of the same last names.

Same here, I think my Grandma's grandparents were first cousins. It was easy researching the family tree, just copy and paste.... lol.
They also lived in Kentucky, but I think they moved here from Pennsylvania.
